Scientists Find Footprints from 395 Millions Years Ago . . . Creationists See Another Muddy Mistake

Scientists have dated “hand” and “foot” prints in Poland that may be the oldest ever found of a four-legged creature. The prints were left in the early Middle Devonian period roughly 400 millions years ago. Of course, for creationists, who insist that the Bible shows that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, these are just muddy footprints and the scientists are off by 394,994,000 years in their calculations.
The prints were left by lizard-like creatures up to 2.5 metres long and found in a former quarry in the Holy Cross Mountains in south-eastern Poland.
The discovery shatters some theories on the transition from water to land and pushing back that time schedule by almost 20 million years.
For those Middle Devonian wannabes, here is a site on the period.
